A Magnolia man who warned bank employees that money was not worth dying for has been convicted of robbery and faces up to 57 years in prison.
Steven L. Baker, 39, a trash hauler in Camden County, was found guilty Tuesday in federal court of robbing three South Jersey banks in the last year.
About $140,000 was stolen by Baker and an accomplice, Deshawn Clayton, 33, of Ocean Grove, N.J., who cooperated with federal authorities and pleaded guilty to robbery.
"It's not your money. It ain't worth dying for," Baker, armed with a gun, told bank employees during two of the robberies, authorities said. - Barbara Boyer
